pydon Crytek Staff Member	Natural Mod for Crysis Presentation The objective of this mod is to transform the ambient atmospheric lighting to make Crysis much more realistic. Modified singleplayer levels Island - Contact Village - Recovery Rescue - Relic Harbor - Assault Tank - Onslaught Mine - Awakening Sphere - Exodus Ascension - Ascension What does the Natural Mod add to Crysis? realistic atmospheric lighting realistic dusk and dawn realistic ambient fog realistic sun realistic night realistic moon position Download final version The uninstallation of the previous version of the Natural Mod is not mandatory, but cleaner. For regular users Natural Mod 2.0.2 Installer (20 MB, CryMod) Natural Mod 2.0.2 Installer (20 MB, FilePlanet) Natural Mod 2.0.2 Installer (20 MB, FileFront) For testers Natural Mod 2.0.3 Installer (16 MB, CryMod) Natural Mod 2.0.3 Installer (16 MB, FileFront) In this version, the Natural Mod is loaded as a mod, this means it will not modify your original files. However, it introduces some disturbances due to the way Crysis handles the singleplayer mods. The savegames made with the original game are not detected when the mod is loaded and vice versa. No more than 1 mod can be loaded at the same time. For modders only Natural Mod 2.0.1 TOD files (RapidShare, 50 KB) If you plan to use the Natural mod in your own mod, please mention the Natural mod and the original creator of the TOD file. Installation Launch the installer and follow the instructions Launch the game The Natural Mod is provided with a custom "System.cfg" that removes HDR glitches and enables all necessary effects to fully enjoy the Natural Mod. However, low-end systems may encounter performance drop with these settings, because it activates certain (very) high effects, like sunrays or HDR. If the framerate of the game is too low, open the "System.cfg" with the Windows Notepad and follow the instruction of the last section named "Framerate Optimizations". If you don't like the light grain effect that appears during the night to simulate a low level of luminosity, you can disable it by entering this command at the end of the "System.cfg" file or in the console during the game: "r_colorgrading=0". Uninstallation Uninstall the Natural Mod with the menu "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel Screenshots comparison Island - Contact Village - Rescue Rescue - Relic Harbor - Assault Tank - Onslaught Mine - Awakening Sphere - Exodus Ascension Changelog Version 2.0.3 NEW: runs as mod Version 2.0.2 NEW: lite installer Version 2.0.1 FIX: night script Version 2.0 better night better moon better dawn and dusk less bright sky during the day darker shadows and inside (new System.cfg) NEW: realistic moon position NEW: grain and low saturation during the night NEW: loading screens FIX: clouds slightly orange before dawn on Island map FIX: ambient fog slightly violet Version 1.2 new Windows installer less ambient fog better sun color at dawn and dusk better horizon color at dawn and dusk FIX: less opaque light halos at night Version 1.1 more light better shadows improved night light less ambient fog FIX: saturation too low when colorgrading was activated FIX: ambient occlusion rate too high in the morning and evening FIX: dawn and dusk too long Beta 2 - Version 1.0 better dawn and dusk less milky morning Beta 1 realistic atmospheric lighting realistic dawn and dusk realistic fog realistic sun darker night concordance with the ingame hour Credits and thanks Thanks to bumpelwumpel for his core installation script. pydon, March 2008 This post has been edited 150 time(s), it was last edited by pydon: 17.08.2008 15:50.

Haloking365 Beginner	RE: Natural Mod for Crysis This looks awesome. I've always hated the vanilla TOD settings for Crysis. The lights were too dark and the darks were too light. Will this affect other configs like taowolfs? Because if possible, i'd like them both to work at the same time. __________________ Mobo: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe \| CPU: AMD X2 6000+ \| RAM: 3gb dual-channel \| GPU: EVGA 8800GTS (G92) 512mb \| Monitor: Acer 19" Res: 1440x900 \| Mouse/Keyboard: Logitech G5/Razer Tarantula

acidron Beginner	Nice tunes for middays, tank's and mine's screens looks very interest. Others need to play to feel. One problem I see on the first post is dusk and dawn look identical. Is it possible you share TOD settings exported in additional to level.paks because it has much lower size This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by acidron: 22.12.2007 22:16.

Tectonic76 Beginner	Looks interesting. I'll give it a try and tell you what I think. From what i've seen in the screenshots though it'll look really cool

TheHeartSmasher Beginner	Don't forget to read Important Information: Mods In Crysis for when the next patch is released, so users don't have to edit any of the regular files.

As I only modify the "mission_mission0.xml" in the level.pak of each singleplayer map, I don't think the mod will work when I read this:

quote:

Levels Placement
Currently all Mod Levels must be placed in Crysis\Game\Levels NOT Crysis\Mods\MyMod\Game\Levels. This will get fixed in a patch.

I planned to release the modded level.pak (+ eventually the original level.pak for backup).

Is there a way to only provide those "mission_mission0.xml" (~2 MB x7) instead of the level.pak files (~50 MB x7)?

@jupiee, it's normal, i'll give a new link with the modified version soon...

Drop dead gorgeous mod. Can you please upload the "mission_mission0.xml" files also? It would be 10x easier (for you and players) just to replace the file than download 50mb for each map. Keep up the good work.

jupiee Hardcore Modder	hey looks much more realistic is there a way to get this kind of ligthning per default in all custom maps ? maybe with a edited config ? edit:would be cool if people could play in the final release all levels in a row like the original levels and not have to load the levels separately. edit: man now crysis looks realy real ,there was all the whole time something I missed in the graphics, now its fixed This post has been edited 3 time(s), it was last edited by jupiee: 24.12.2007 18:09.
